The canned pears likewise burst their containers, and when warmer weather thaws out the rest of the frozen focdstuffs the losses are e: pected to be high “The thing has become a joke the length and breadth of Alaska,” one prominent Seattle-Alaska busi- ness man said He declined to be quoted by name for the obvious reason that much of his business government “It is incredible, so unbelievable that it's funny.” Anot business man who has How {0 Relieve Bronchitis Creomu cause it trouble to help loosen and expel ! germ laden pl 1. and aid nature | to soot iender, in- flamed cous mem- branes.

Catching of salmon is Nulato’s sole industry. The Government also, Alaskans ;, put 72 tons of foodstuffs in Galena in November, a trading post which numbers only a few whites 'and natives. Food and sugar were piled on the ground, for want of storage facilities, and promises were exacted from a contractor working in the neighborhood to “protect the shipment in every way possible from weather and the rats” “All he could do,” the Alaskan said, “was to throw a little can- vas over it.” The stuff was purchased the direction of Harold W Assistant General Manager Alaska Railway who maintains tourist. offices at Chicago, and was under Snell of the believed it would, be recover much of the food now on the beach.

He said at first thought it might appear that someone in Washing- ton had blundered, but that not all the food was wasted and much of it would be redistributed to inland peninsula points this summer. “These people might take an- other view-of the matter,” he said, “if our ' |stance, were cut off for a year or two by war developments.” e ————— NOTICE authorized by the Department of Interior to.serve as Territorial Food Administrator for civilian reserve supply when tourist travel off as the result of the war.
